#SuperstarSaturday

My superstar choice for this saturday is Drew Barrymore. Most of us were introduced to her in E.T. But actually Drew made her first screen appearance at 11 months old in a puppy food commercial. Unlike a lot of actors Drew's age, she was born into a family of famous actors. It was in the Barrymore blood and Drew inherited it as well.

Drew's life has been widely publicized given her family history and her growing up years on the movie screen. And because of that we (the public) knows far more about her than we would any other person who has had the life experiences she has. But I don't consider Drew Barrymore a superstar because of the movies she has been. I look at her ability to overcome hard things and come out on the other side stronger and healthier and with the world watching - that's what makes her a superstar, in my opinion.
